Zhang Ruochen held his sword in both hands, deadening Murong Bainu as he glanced in the direction of Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling.
Only to see ten Black Market experts at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm transforming into ten residual shadows and killing their way into the crowd as if they were wolves entering a flock of sheep, instantly putting down more than a dozen Duanmu Clan’s martial practitioners to the ground.
“Swish swish!”
Blade light and sword shadow, killing aura rushed to the sky.
An Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle martial artist fighting a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist was like a small child fighting a heavily armed warrior, it was a complete one-sided crush.
Huang Yichen, Duanmu Xingling, and Chen Xi’er were all Three Absolute Geniuses, and, with their martial cultivation reaching the Earth Extremity Realm Great Circle, only the three of them possessed the strength to fight against early stage Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artists.
“Zhang Ruochen, you …… can’t kill me ……”
Murong Bai Ren saw the ten Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artists rushing over, a smile appeared on his pale face, as long as those ten martial artists arrived, the situation would be transformed.
Of course, before that, he had to save himself.
Murong Bai Ren transported his entire body’s true qi to his arms, and his pair of arms gradually turned greenish in colour, his blood meridians were like a copper pipe wrapped around the top of his arms as his strength increased, wanting to get rid of Zhang Ruochen’s suppression.
“Can’t kill you? You overestimate yourself!”
Zhang Ruochen detached a hand, cupped it into a palm seal, and struck at the top of Murong Bainu’s head.
Not good.
Under the threat of death, Murong Bai Ren erupted with unprecedented potential, his legs powered up and stomped backward violently, narrowly avoiding Zhang Ruochen’s palm print.
“Swish!”
Right at this moment, a sword light flew in, flying past Murong Bai Ren’s eyes, leaving a line of blood above his eyes.
The short golden sword in Murong Bai Ren’s hand fell to the ground, his hands covered his bloody eyes, and he screamed miserably, “My eyes …… Zhang Ruochen, how dare you waste my eyes, our Xuan Shadow Sect won’t let you off …… ”
Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen chopped over with another sword, slicing across Murong Bai Ren’s neck and severing his throat. Murong Bai Ren’s voice came to an abrupt end.
Losing the protection of the Body Protecting Heavenly Deity, under the powerful water pressure, Murong Bainu’s flesh exploded and turned into a piece of mutilated corpse.
The surrounding waters turned completely blood red.
A generation of heavenly pride fell.
Originally, with Murong Bainu’s talent, in the future, he would definitely become the martial arts hegemon of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, and become a lord of the party, but he had just broken through the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and had not yet shown his unparalleled sharpness, and then he fell under the water, and he couldn’t even find a complete skeleton.
Underneath that blood mist, a golden glow was flickering.
Within the golden light, a short blade was wrapped.
Zhang Ruochen’s five fingers stretched out, and the short golden blade immediately flew up and rushed into his palm.
The golden short blade, actually able to withstand a sword from the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword without breaking, was definitely not a mortal product.
Zhang Ruochen injected his true qi into the short blade, and after inspecting it, his heart couldn’t help but be delighted. There were a total of seventy-four inscriptions engraved on the body of the blade, and there were also four intermediate inscriptions of the “Fire” system.
“This is a …… tenth order True Martial Treasure Weapon …….”
One must know that even the most powerful battle weapon of the royal family of the Yunwu County Kingdom was only a ninth rank True Martial Treasure Weapon.
How could Murong Bainu have a tenth rank True Martial Treasure Weapon?
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was a little puzzled, towards a battle weapon of this level of a tenth rank True Martial Treasure Weapon, only a martial artist who had reached the Heavenly Extremity Realm would be able to utilise one or two percent of its power.
Murong Bai Ren had only just broken through the Heavenly Extremity Realm, so he probably didn’t even know how to utilise the power of the Golden Short Blade, otherwise, it would never have been an easy task for Zhang Ruochen to kill him.
Although the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword was incredibly sharp, but after all, it was only a remnant weapon, and right now, it was only equivalent to the power of a ninth rank True Martial Treasure Artifact.
“Roar!”
Not far away, a long roar rang out, transforming into sound waves that pierced one’s eardrums.
It wasn’t the enemy, it was Si Xingkong who had broken through the Heavenly Extremity Realm.
Si Xingkong stood up violently, his arms spread out, and a strong and incomparable aura erupted out, shaking the three early stage Heavenly Extremity Realm experts who were preparing to go and kill him out.
With a breakthrough in realm and a huge increase in cultivation, Si Xingkong officially crossed into the ranks of Martial Myth.
Si Xingkong’s speed was astonishingly fast, rushing out like a stream of light and striking out three punches in a row.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The heads of those three experts at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm all exploded and turned into three clouds of blood mist.
Instantly killing three early stage Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists in seconds.
“Si Xingkong was once the number one expert of the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, now that he has broken through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm, who can still stop him?”
Upon seeing the incredibly strong Si Xingkong, all of those black market martial artists revealed fearful eyes.
“Wasn’t Zhang Tiangui able to defeat Si Xingkong? If he breaks through the Heavenly Extremity Realm, he will definitely be able to defeat Si Xingkong again.” One of the black market martial artists said.
“Zhang Tiangui has already entered the Shengmen to search for treasures in the Dragon Palace.”
“Zhang Ruochen and Si Xingkong are both ferocious figures of the younger generation, I can’t see that even Murong Bai Ren has already died in battle, let’s run away!”
……
Those Black Market martial artists who stayed behind retreated and rushed into the Shengmen, leaving no one behind.
Because of this, Zhang Ruochen and Si Xingkong had made a move to intercept and kill them, there were actually only twelve Black Markets at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm that had escaped, and the rest had all fallen.
In less than a quarter of an hour, fourteen Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artists died outside the Dragon Palace, a rather shocking event.
Huang Yichen and Chang Qiqi immediately took out the medicinal liquid refined from the petals of the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorcerer, took it into their mouths, and began to impact the Heavenly Extremity Realm.
Although Chen Xi’er didn’t have the petals of the Nirvana Fire Spiritual Sorcerer, she had other spirit medicines, and after taking them, she also began to cultivate in preparation for a breakthrough in the realm.
Only Duanmu Xingling was the only one who took out the medicinal liquid and hesitated slightly before taking it.
Duanmu Xingling was also just a hair’s breadth away from the Earth Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm, and she also wanted to search for the Dragon Shell and impact the Supreme Extremity Realm. Therefore, she did not intend to break through the realm right now.
Although she took the medicinal liquid, however, the medicinal power was all suppressed and not refined and absorbed by her.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I’ll leave this place to you, I’ll enter the Shengmen first and clear the way for you.”
Zhang Ruochen’s stance flickered as he rushed into the Life Gate.
When Pot saw Zhang Ruochen enter the Sheng Door, a pair of big eyes blinked as it chased after him and ran in after him.
Following Zhang Ruochen was the only way to have meat to eat, following Chang Qiqi would only be gnawing on carrots, if it was possible to choose, of course, the pot would choose to follow Zhang Ruochen.
“Zhang Ruochen, go to hell!”
Zhang Ruochen had just rushed through the birth door when a cold light flew in the direction of the left side.
An assassin whose entire body was wrapped in purple clothes, carrying a long spear with a cold light, quickly rushed out from the corner and stabbed Zhang Ruochen’s heart with a single shot.
“There really is an ambush.”
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have noticed that someone was hiding behind the door, and just at the moment the lance stabbed out, a finger pointed out, striking a sword wave.
“Tai Vein Sword Wave.”
The place where the sword wave flew through immediately froze into cold ice.
That one assassin who had hidden behind the Sheng Door to ambush Zhang Ruochen was immediately sealed inside the cold ice, still maintaining his stabbing stance.
However, his body had been completely chopped up by the sword Qi.
Zhang Ruochen simply flicked his finger, and that huge piece of cold ice immediately shattered.
The killer frozen in the cold ice also turned into a piece of debris.
It was only when he walked into the Dragon Palace that he truly felt the enormity of the Dragon Palace, a hundred times more massive than a human’s palace, with each temple resembling a large mountain, radiating colourful light.
As Zhang Ruochen hurried forward, the path ahead suddenly disappeared, and a cold and bone-chilling black mist appeared.
That was the necessary path to enter the Dragon Palace’s hinterland.
Zhang Ruochen rushed in without hesitation, and just as he entered the black mist, a huge suction force came from under his feet, as if he had walked into a mud pool, constantly pulling him downwards.
“In the Dragon Palace, there are indeed many crises, so we can’t take it lightly in the slightest.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, his true qi surged to the centre of his feet, and with a slap of his palms on the surface of the mud pool, his body immediately leapt up and flew out of that one mud pool.
Escaping from the mud pool, Zhang Ruochen glanced back.
Where was the mud pool?
It was clearly a pool of blood.
On the surface of the pool of blood, bubbles rose up, and floating on the surface were pieces of white bones, as if the flesh of human beings and savage beasts were boiling in it.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was profound, if it was any other Earth Extreme Realm martial artist, he would definitely die.
Potty’s luck was much better than Zhang Ruochen’s, very easily avoiding the pool of blood and catching up with Zhang Ruochen’s pace.
“Pots and Pans, why are you following up?”
Zhang Ruochen looked at a large rabbit and a smile appeared on his face.
Pot Pot Pot walked up to Zhang Ruochen, his eyes blinking non-stop as he stretched out his hands and stared at Zhang Ruochen with anticipation.
“It’s fine if you want to eat, but you must do me a favour.”
Zhang Ruochen took out a jade box containing spirit meat from within his spatial ring and held it up in his hand, deliberately not handing it over.
The pot’s eyes lit up at the sight of that one jade box, nodding its head vigorously as if to say, “I’ll agree to anything!”
Zhang Ruochen handed the jade box to the pot and said, “Stay here and remind the people who are coming over later, telling them that there is a blood pool here so that they don’t fall into it as well.”
While nodding his head, Nabob opened the jade box, cupped the spirit meat and began to eat it.
Zhang Ruochen laughed and shook his head, Chang Qi Qi was really unreliable, actually bringing Pot Pot all the way into the Dragon Palace.
After experiencing the menace just now, Zhang Ruochen was even more cautious, releasing the Time and Space Domain and continuing on his way.
Just after passing through that patch of black mist, a purple figure with a delicate figure, holding a fishbowl sword, walked out from amongst a pile of seven-coloured corals. She was deliberately waiting for Zhang Ruochen there.
“Zhang Ruochen.”
That one purple silhouette wore a face scarf that wrapped around her head and face, revealing only a pair of eyes with a cold intent.
Even so, Zhang Ruochen recognised her in an instant and said, “Senior Sister Violet, you’re not here to stop me too, are you?”
Zi Xie pulled her face scarf down, revealing a delicate face, and said in a cold voice, “Since you’ve already entered the Dragon Palace, what’s the point of me stopping you? I’m just here to remind you that Emperor Yi has gone to the Divine Dragon Palace in the centre, so you must not go over there. As long as you don’t confront him, no one can threaten you in the Dragon Palace.”
Before entering the underwater Dragon Palace, Zhang Ruochen had learnt that the Dragon Palace, it was said, consisted of just nine Dragon Temples and seventy-two Cave Mansions.
The nine dragon halls were honoured by the “Divine Dragon Hall”, which was the four-winged Earth Dragon’s former chambers.
If the dragon relic was really in the Dragon Palace, then it was probably placed in the Divine Dragon Hall.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I must obtain the Dragon Sheltering Shield, so I must go to the Divine Dragon Hall, I hope you won’t stop me.”
“Zhang Ruochen, wait for a moment.”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was going to rush to the Divine Dragon Hall, Zixie immediately stretched out a hand and grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s arm.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and glanced at her.
Slightly embarrassed, Zixie immediately withdrew her hand and put it behind her back, saying, ”Have you forgotten about that dragon horn we got in the Red Sky Secret Mansion? It might serve an important purpose, and we might not necessarily have to go to the Divine Dragon Hall.”
